ThreeASFOUR Explores Fashion at Jewish Museum

The
Jewish Museum
will unveil a new multimedia installation by the avant-garde design group
threeASFOUR
on September 15, presented in collaboration with the
Art Production Fund NY
. The installation, titled
MER KA BA
, explores themes of spirituality and cross-cultural unity through the lenses of conceptual fashion, architecture, and video.

ThreeASFOUR founded the fashion label originally called ASFOUR in 1998, and have since focused on creating works of conceptual and cerebral value, rather than of commercial value. Often referred to in the media as experimental, poetic, and visionary designers, their work has been exhibited in museums around the world, and features in permanent collections at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Hailing from Lebanon, Israel, and Tajikistan, the members of the group, Gabriel Asfour, Adi Gil, and Angela Donhauser, came of age in times and places of war and social discord. They credit their diverse backgrounds and cultural upbringings for the focus on cultural unity and harmony in their work.
